We arrived on Sunday (4/20) at the Tampa Airport and took a taxi, $22 for 4 people to the port.
Embarkation: We got there around 1 pm. Bags were immediately taken from our cab by the Carnival porters. The lines were long enough but continued to move. I would say we waited about 30- 45 minutes. We carried a case of bottle water on board, no issues.
Ship: This was our first family cruise. The Legend is very impressive ship. The crew is constantly keeping everything clean. Overall the crew was exceptional. We enjoyed the Greek and Roman Legend Theme that was present throughout the ship.
